    family {aka the shoemakers kids}

    February 27, 2015 /

    Just realized I totally forgot to post these pictures I took of the boys and all the cousins this year for my in-laws Christmas card. Yeah, never got around to making a Christmas card for us this year either. I think this was the first year I ever missed since having kids. So a 15 year run wasn’t bad. I just ran out of time. Shoemakers kids and all that.

    My boys- Jack, Timmy & Patrick.

    Nephews Sean, Aidan & BrendanNephews Quinn, James & JoeyAnd my awesome in-laws, Inez & John.

    rain & rainbows

    February 25, 2015 /

    More from Colorado, different ends of the road at the same time. Loved the way the sun lit up the patch of rain. The rainbow was the best one I’ve ever seen.

    waiting for the storm (colorado)

    February 24, 2015 /

    Finally, finally started editing the pictures from our summer 2014 trip to Seattle and Denver. Not sure I took the camera out of the bag once in Seattle, but while the boys were at baseball (where else would they be?) and after I went to the gun range (where else would I be?) I hit up a park and shot with my camera. The parks out there certainly don’t look like the parks here. Even strip mall parking lots had amazing views of the mountains, tons of untouched land and the biggest skies. I’ll be posting a few (or just one) picture a day for a bit, till I get thru them all.

    remembering what its like

    February 16, 2015 /

    to not be an ice cube 24-7. Its very vague, the memory of summer. But according to past years, it will be back eventually. It just can’t come soon enough for me. Just recently edited these pictures, so figured on day with a low of 3 degrees and my bathroom pipes freezing, today would be a good day to post them.

    summer baseball (yeah, you read that right)

    January 28, 2015 /

    I was (and continue to be for a little longer) sooooo woefully far behind on editing and posting in 2014, that on this snowed up day in January, you’re getting some summer baseball photos. Its kinda mean and torturey of me, I know. But wait till next week when I post the pool pictures that I never got around to either! You know how I feel about baseball, but the only bright side is that baseball=spring=no more freaking snow.
